In conversation with reporter in Augusta
Wednesday, Attorney General Baker said:
There are yet no new developments in the
Stain case Mr.. Appleton, ,county attorney
for Penobscot, was here today, and we were
looking up matters around here" 1t was
suggested that there were quite number of
clews in and around Augusta, scented at
the time of the hearing. "Yes of course a
large number of these rumors, as they may
be termed, prove useless but we cannot tell
until they are followed up, what they will
amount to, but what we do find out has to be
kept to ourselves as much as possible. If a
newspaper publishes what we may find out,
the defence Will gain an advantage which
we do not wish to give it,"
''Do you not think that the papers have
been of considerable assistance in this case
and that these have been solely instrunen-
tai in bringing certain matters to light?"
Certainly l do; before the trial, they were
a great help and are deserving of great
credit; but now, you must understand, we
have to sift these clews down as quietly as
wheat among the chaft. we keep sstill about
it, and when the proper time comes it will
be forthcoming"

A Veteran Steamboat.

BANGOR, Nov. 1O.-When the new steamer
Blue Hill was put on the route between
Rockland, Blue Hill, and Ellsworth last
month, the old steamer Henry Morrison was
taken off and sold to Captain Barbour of
this city to be broken up. This steamboat
has probably seen as much and as varied SER
vice as any boat of her size in the country.
She is stubby little old side-wheeler of 122
tons, built at Williamsburgh, N. Y, in 1854,
and she was constructed for the express pur-
pose of conveying prisoners from Boston to
the house of correction at Deer Island. She
has carried many thousands of criminals of
all grades to and fro between the city and
the island in her day, and, were she able to
speak, could doubtless tell many an inter
esting story. Latterly she has been engaged
in the more respectable business of carrying
passengers and freight ON the coast of
Maine. Her career is not over yet, however,
for Captain Barbour has discovered that she
a good engine and a sound frame, and, after
lengthening her twenty feet. he will give her
a general overhauling and fix her up for SER
vice ON the Bangor and Bar Harbor route

New YORK, Nov. 10.-A Paris despatch to

ing has been received from San Reno:
much anxiety is still felt about the Crown
Prince. DR.. Mackenzie had four other promi-
nennt physicians in consultation several hours

malignant type. DIR. Mackenzie nevertheless felt
that another internal cutting operation would
have to be effected this week."
A despatch from Vienna says; prof
Stork, a doctor, who makes a speciality of
throat diseases, in lecture today created
sensation by declaring that the German
Crown Prince is suffering from cancer, and
that DR.. MacKenzies treatment is entirely
wrong. This view, he said, was confirmed
by the opinion of Bergman and others. 1t
was the grossest blunder in the world to
travel about with the Crown Prince. 1t was
impossible to say whether radical opera
tion would prove successful now; it ought
to have been performed long ago. Many
doctors disapprove of Prof. Stork's state

jealousy in attacking DIR. Mackenzie"

Writers and Copyright.

With hopeful impatience, Life awaits the day when Mr. Towels and his brother penmen on either side of the Atlantic may enjoy the full re- ward of their efforts to amuse their transatlantic readers. International copyright ought to come. Everything is to be said for it, and there is no ar gument against it which is consistent with the eighth commandment. If any senator or congressman fails next winter to do his duty in this matter, we charge the International Copyright League to show him up. The pen is powerful, brethren. The men who wield it ought to have their dues. If they set about it right, they can wrest their rights from congress as though their hands were at it's throat. Any senator, any representative, who blocks the copyright bill this winter, is the enemy of every man in England or America who gets his living by writing books. It is just presump- tion that such a man is a rascal at heart, and the Copyright League should see to it that his record is thor oughly investigated, and the presump- tion verified if possible. If American authors do not get their rights from congress, it is their own fault The means are at hand, if they will only use them. They ought to be ashamed to have it known any longer that the only American man of letters in easy circumstances is Mark Twain.
 There was a man from the west in the senate committee on patents last winter who objected to the Interna- tional Leagues copyright bill, and muddled over one of his own until he succeeded in killing both: we forget this imbecile's name now, but it is in the almanacs. We shall call upon our literary and pictorial brethren to help us attend to his case when he comes to repeat his tricks next winter.
